The camp will be run by new Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach Mike Sullivan. Those helping out Mr. Sullivan with the camp are Clark Donatelli, head coach of the Wheeling Nailers and Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender development coach Mike Buckley.
There will be 37 skaters present for the camp (23 forwards, 10 defensemen and 4 goaltenders). All four 2015 draft picks are expected to be present. Also, a few players that are very important to the Pittsburgh Penguins very near future success will be attending.
Three players are attending who had NHL minutes last season. Those players are Derrick Pouliot, Bryan Rust and Scott Wilson. Pouliot will almost definitely be in the lineup next year for the Penguins, while Rust and Wilson will be looking to secure a spot on the Pens fourth line.
Also in attendance will be the AHL’s rookie of the year, goaltender, Matt Murray, WBS leading scorer Connor Sheary, and the very skilled Oskar Sundqvist. Murray, Sheary and Sundqvist have a lot to prove to the coaching staff to prove that they are ready to play with the Pens.
Here is a breakdown of the roster:
Forwards: Teddy Blueger, Tyler Biggs, Josh Archibad, Anthony Angello, Anton Zlobin, Bryan Rust, Scott Wilson, Oskar Sundqvist, Daniel Sprong, Connor Sheary, Fredrick Tiffels, Milos Bubela, Blaine Byron, J-S Dea, Brandon Denham, Jake Guentzel, Dominick Simon, Nikita Pavlychev, Ty Loney, Troy Josephs, Sam Lafferty, Jaden Lindo, Matia Marcantuoni
Defense: Derrick Pouliot, Patrick Sexton, Clark Seymour, Matt Murphy, Harrison Roupp, Joe Masonius, Ryan Segalla, Dane Birks, Jake Kulevich, Jeff Taylor
Goalies: Matt Murray, Tristan Jarry, Sean Maguire, Matt Skoff
The Pittsburgh Penguins also announced, the final day of practice will conclude with a controlled scrimmage and will be open to the public. More information will be released next week.
